[If anyone has been wondering where Strelok has been, they will be getting the answer to that question presently. Strelok is on top of a ladder, tying together what looks to be a couple pieces of corrugated steel with some kind of flexible metal.

That finished, Strelok slides down the ladder, adjusting the camera back, to show the World's Lamest Shack. The walls and roof are all the corrugated steel, tied with the same wire. Sitting outside is that freakish energon-eating plant he picked up ages ago... which has a bunch of Christmas lights on it and doesn't seem too happy about. His pseudodog Fang is in a much better mood, though, tail thumping on the ground as it wags.

Strelok grins a little. Proud of yourself much, dude?]

Not too bad, for a hand-made home, yes? Nexus Prime, you know I like you, but I cannot loiter in your temple anymore.

And I have heard it is also near Christmas? Well, then we celebrate like stalkers! Isaac, I will find beer; we will have a party in the medbay. Who knows, maybe I will even be able to find some food that is better than normal. If anyone else wants to come, you are welcome. Though you Cybertronians will have to bring your own... energon, is it?

you bastard, now i have to get you one as well

when i'm up and about again i can try and help you find shit to reinforce it?

nonsense, your gift to me is getting out of the medbay in one piece

I'd appreciate the help. you are welcome to crash there anytime, so long as I find an extra sleeping bag first

if you insist, sitting on my ass for a month is probably the easiest gift i've ever given

thanks for the offer, but i'm fine in solus's temple. until she kicks me out for being a lazy bum, of couse

the least I can do after shooting you is making gift-giving easy

I may not remember much from when I was here last, but I do not remember the firstforged ever throwing someone out if their temples.

that's a relief, building my own place sounds like a lot of effort

speaking of the first forged, that funky tattoo i got has a pink outline now. any ideas what that's about?

it is something to do if you get bored, really. and I am not much for sleeping in such nice buildings anyway

the pink is for alpha trion, I think. it means you are a little aligned to him; I have a black outline around mine

i'm not much for sleeping in general

[strelok might've noticed those big-ass black rings around his eyes last time they met. yeah, this one has pretty bad insomnia]

huh. solus is the forger, right? who's trion? also, what does black mean?

the dreams are too much, eh

[Yeah, that's a pretty normal thing for stalkers, really. But he's had a while to get used to them; he gave up on sleeping without dreams or nightmares ages ago.]

yep. solus builds and fixes, and alpha trion collects knowledge from all over. black is for megatronus

gotta love alien relics that keep you awake with the screams of the dead

what does megatronus do?

[TEACH HIM, SENPAI]

I guess we cannot destroy that one. back home it was the Zone that caused them

[Fun times with radiation and psychic disturbances!]

he is the opposite of prima. he is a dark warrior. I am afraid I don't know much about him

[If they ever spoke before he doesn't remember it.]

fuck them all seriously

i see. i think when i'm back to normal i'll have to spend some time in trion's library, especially now seeing as i'm apparently in his club or whatever

bah. the dreams are what cossack vodka was made for

it is a nice library. I have been there a few times myself, recently. just be prepared to get a little lost, the place is huge

not gonna argue with you on that one

i still need to fiddle with the damn gps in my rig suit, but that at least should be able to guide me to the exit again, if not specific areas of the library

i hope you can get your gps working; the map functions of my pda haven't worked since i got here. you might want to take a roll of string just in case.

fucking christ there's always something, isn't there

i'll go to the junk pile later and pray i can find a ball several miles long

of course. on the plus side, if there is a geiger counter or a calendar in your suit, those should work fine

there is always bread crumbs or shiny stones too, i guess. not that they would be any easier to find

i think there's a calendar

fuck it, i'll just take a bag of food and hope for the best. if i don't come back after a few days, tell them i died fighting twenty rabid bears

good news! that should work. though the date might be wrong

sure thing. i'll wait to erect a memorial until a week after that, just in case

i don't even know what day it is, let alone the date

excellent. i'm glad i have such a trustworthy friend

Edited 2013-12-27 00:27 (UTC)

i think mine is slightly close, you can borrow my pda to reset your calendar

of course! a stalker always looks out for his crew

does it really matter?

i'll make sure you get a statue if you kick it as well

[he's just laughing his ass off in the medbay. what even is this convo]

not really, but it confuses the robots which can be fun

a statue, huh? made out of what?

[Man he doesn't even know what happened to this conversation but it's interesting. You are fun Isaac never change.]

one of them was confused and almost scared by the beard i've started to grow

beer bottles, or maybe i'll commission solus for a special one. only the best!

[HE TRIES and he might also be a bit whacked out on pain killers]

somehow that does not surprise me. we are just so frightening aren't we

you are too kind, isaac, a true friend

[Oh you and your painkillers~]
